COMBINATION SAMPLE AND PAMPHLET CARRIER.

Application filed December 27, 1926. Serial No. 157,164.

simulating a seal for retaining the enclosed sample intact until the seal means is broken inorder to convey to the recipient the idea that the goods represented by the sample are packed and sold in sealed packages.

A further object of the invention is to pro vide a device of the character described, which shall be very simple in construction yet form a neat and attractive article which is cheap to, manufacture, and practical and efficient to a high degree in use.

Other objectsrof this invention will in part be obvious and in part hereinafter pointed out.

The invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combinations of ele- .ments, and arrangement of parts which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter described, and of which the scope of application will be indicated in the following claims. 1, d,

V In the. accompanying drawing, in which is shown one of the various possible ill ust-rative embodiments of this invention,

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the improved advertising holder and sample carrier embodying the invention.

Fig. 2 is a. fragmentary perspective view showing the improved holder with the sample package removed.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing a sample package with the sealed band extending about the ends and sides thereof.

Fig. 4 is a bottom plan view showing an improved wrapper unfolded.

Referring in detail to the drawing, 10 denotes an advertising holder and sample carrier embodying the invention which is here shown as comprising a cover or wrapper 11 formed of anysuitable sheet material, such as cardboard, heavy or light stock paper or the like, and is preferably formed of a single sheet comprising a central portion 11, foldable .flaps 11 extending longitudinally from. opposite sides of saidcent-ral por: tiorrllr, and a band portion 11 extending from one end of the central portion 11". said band extending beyond said central portion over said flaps when unfolded (see Fig. 1)

and adapted to encircle a receptacle or package 13 in a manner hereinafter more fully described. Said wrapper 11 may be cut from a blank sheet, creased and folded to form an enclosure for printed matter 12, such as directions of use, testimonials, advertising items, etc. as is clearly shown in Fig. 1.

The device 10 is particularly adapted to accompany samples forming the contents of said receptacle 13, the latter being provided with a. seal 14 which encloses the sample in said receptacle. Said receptacle 13 is retamed to overlie the folded flaps 11 of the wrapper by encircling the band 11 about the receptacle, as is clearly shown in Fig. 1.

The band 11 has impressed or printed on it normally exposed side markings 15 simulating the seal 1% applied to the package 13 so that the package when engaged bythe band leaves the appearance of the package substantially intact and conveys to the recipient theidea that the goods are packed and sold in sealed form and that the seal must be broken before the contents can be removed from the receptacle.

The practical use of the device 10 is now apparent. The printed matter 12 is enclosed inthe folded wrapper 11 and the sealed receptacle 13 containing a sample of the product to be distributed is attached to the wrap per- 11 by encircling the band 11 about the receptacle so that the seal-simulating side of the band is superimposed over the seal 14 of the package 13. The band and package are then folded so that they overlie the flaps l1 shown in Fig. 1. The device 10-is now ready to be distributed in any desired manner as by enclosing it in an envelope and mailing.

It is to be understood that the construction of the wrapper 11 may be changed and only a single flap employed, or the flaps entirely dispensed withby providing a holder to which the advertising matter is attached by any well understood means, as by clips adapted to meet the conditions of practical use.

As various possible embodiments might be made of the above invention, and as various changes might be made in the embodiment above set forth, it is to be understood that all matter herein set forth or shown in the accompanying drawing is to be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Let tcrs Patent 1. A device of the character described formed of sheet material comprising a central portion, foldable flaps extending longitudinally from opposite sides of said portion forming a wrapper adapted to enclose printed matter, and a band portion extending from'one end of said central portion forming an attachment means adapted to secure a sample to overlie said flaps.

2. A device of the character described formedof sheet material comprising a body portion, a foldable flap extending longitudinally from one side of said portion forming a cover adapted to enclose printed matter, and a band extending from one end of said portion forming an attachment means adapted to retain a sample to overlie said flap.

3. A device of the character described formed of a single piece of sheet material cut, creased and folded to have a body portion, a flap forming a cover adapted to enclose printed matter, and an elongated band extending from one end of said portion transversely the length thereof, said band being foldable and adapted to encircle a packed sample for retaining the latter to overlie the flap.

4. Adevice of the character described formed of a single piece of sheet material cut, creased and folded to have a body portion, foldable flaps extending longitudinally from opposite sides of said portion forming a w 'apper adapted to enclose printed matter, and an elongated band integrally formed to extend from one end of said central portion transversely the length thereof, said band extending beyond said central portion and over the flaps when unfolded and adapted to encircle a package sample for retaining the latter to overlie said flaps.

5. A device of the character described, a holder for retaining printed matter and n'ieans extending from one end of the holder wrapper, said means comprising an elongated. band forming a said sample.

6. In combination with a receptacle adapted to have the contents sealed, of a single piece of sheet material cut, creased and folded to have a body portion, a flap forming 'a cover adapted to enclose printed matter, and an elongated extended portion extending from one end of said body portion trans vcrsely the length thereof, said extended portion comprising an elongated band encircling the receptacle for retainingthe latter to overlie the flap and for sealing the contents in the receptacle.

7. In combination with a receptacle adapted to have the contents sealed, of a single piece of sheet material cut, creased and folded to have a body portion, foldable flaps extending longitudinally from opposite sides of said portion forming a wrapper adapted to enclose printed matter, and an elongated portion integrally formed to extend from one end of said central portion transversely the length thereof, said elongated portion comprising a band extending beyond the central portion and over the flaps when untoldcd and encircling the receptacle for re taining the latter to overlie the flaps and for sealing the contents in the receptacle.

8. In a device of the character described a holder for retaining printed matter and a band extending from one end of the holder adapted to secure a receptacle to overlie the wrapper at said end.

In testimony whereof I atiix my signature.
